Hey General Sumter: As I began to read the posts to this thread, my first thought of a reply was answered by you. The heck with a taser, if I am in danger of my life I am not about to worry about a taser to the chest or anywhere----I will not be carrying a taser and I will use my CCW. Knew I liked your responses on this forum.

[QUOTE=kelcarry;90276]When I am in a locked bedroom and someone enters my home and then defeats the lock on my bedroom, he will be subject to a 12g with double 0. No misses with a first shot 45, no misfires with a semi auto, but plenty of stopping power with a tried and true shotgun.The new Taurus Judge is an interesting alternate---410 ahotgun AND (I believe) 45--all in one revolver.[/QUOTE I hope you have no one else in the house with you,...

I think cops are taser happy anyway. If they can't get trigger time why not tase everyone that doesn't respond to verbal commands within .20 seconds. Don't tase me Bro' !!! On a serious note I do believe that tasers can cause an upset in the sinus rythm. Maybe in healty individuals it may only cause a short term palpitation, but what about someone that does suffer from cardiac conditions ?? It's impossible for...

The idea that I cannot protect myself is disgraceful and downright disgusting. Someone like Pelosi or...

BigSlick - Awesome post! Glock Fan- HAHA! You know the civillian tasers are worse.. L.E Taser=5 second ride... Civillian Taser=30 second ride

I wonder how the Castle Doctrine in SC would apply if you're out walking with a stroller. It is a vehicle, for your child, so would the CD apply if a bad guy accosted you? This is more tongue-in-cheek but I guess you could contend that your domain is the space you occupy regardless of location.

There is a lin e in the Bronx Tail (movie) when the gangster finds his young teenage friend purchasing a gun: "Why are you buying this gun? Do you think it makes you tough? You are tough until you pull that gun on someone and he pulls his...then we find out who the real tough guy is." The point is resolve. I have been asked to teach home defense to people who want to shoot the intruder in the hand, foot, etc. They are...

There are some people who should never be in a combat situation. That is on both ends of the scale with reality somewhere in between. Shoot the hand or foot??? .. They have watched too many movies, and believe that people are basically good, and...

Its all BS. If I am at home and my life is in imminent danger, I can use whatever is at hand. If I grab the 12 Ga loaded with slugs and make a canyon in the BG, it is justified. The key phrase is, " I was in fear for my life and grabbed the nearest weapon to save my life. " (it just happened to be my 50 BMG ). Really, I was taught when in LE that you don't have to search around the house trying to find the weapon to...
